A colleague drove us out for a quick lunch yesterday. Our destination was the Margaret Drive Food Centre.

What did we have? The famous Chicken Rice of course! It's on the upper floor of the food centre. Though there's not many stalls on this level, but that does not mean the place is empty. The tables are all occupied with chicken rice lovers.

(I was sitting a bit far and was too lazy to walk nearer to take a proper photo of the stall)If you notice that there's only 1 chicken hanging there, it always is. When you order, they will bring out the chicken from a container. :-)

Just in case you get confused, the official name & address of this food centre is Commonwealth Avenue Food Centre at Commonwealth Avenue. Most people know it as Margaret Drive Food Centre because you enter via Margaret Drive. It does sound nicer too.

Aiyoh... we've given up eating at this place. The staff taking the orders will just give us whatever they like regardless of what we ordered. Once, we told the old guy don't want any breast meat, but when the dish came, it was made up of mostly breast meat. We told them to take it back and give us what we wanted. They did, and all of it was bony parts. O.k., their business is so good that they can tekan customers like that. But with the economy in turmoil like now, let's see how long this stupid shop can last.

what a coincidence, I went there on Monday and was dissapointed as it was closed. Awww, now I feel like just going down for this chicken rice. I had to compensate with 4 seasons chicken rice, which does not come close to this one!

Cookie,Ya, we heard something similar. The story we heard was that the workers that helped the original Sin Kee retired and the workers decided to take over and operate it. Hmm is that the correct version?

The original owner now in Mei Ling Street food centre. Not sure how they broke up though. But biz in mei ling is pretty quiet, esp after the recent upgrading..... Not many realized that they are back in biz!
